Answers :

Hi,\015\012\015\012\015\012The black screen problem means the lens sensor is spoiled due to over exposure to heat. Its better to give it to cannon service centre. If your camera is under warranty period its well and good they will replace the lens sensor for free of cost.\015\012\015\012\015\012\015\012\015\012\015\012\015\012Thank you\015\012\015\012\015\012

Powershot s410 My s410 is "old" :( but I love it and has been working amazingly over 10,000 photos in the 4 years I've had it. All of a sudden this week-end when I am in auto or manual mode the screen is black - I can't see what I am shooting. What is odd is that if I am in the panoramic mode or video mode the screen works. Even odder is that if I actually take a picture blindly (since the screen is black) it shows up on the display! Help... :) Thanks

Since it is taking a picture, and showing it up afterwards on the display, it definitely sounds like you activated the DISP or DISPLAY button. Seeing that you've used this camera for years, you should know that this manually turns the screen on and ...

I get a black screen when I turn the camera on to take a pic or video. It will take a pic, but it's black.

Canon SD400 I dropped my SD400 and it will turn on, but the shutter will not retract. However, the screen comes on in color and then goes black and says no image. I can access the menu screen while on the picture taking mode. If I move to anything else the camera beeps three times and turns off. What should I do? Can it be fixed? Should I take it somewhere to get it fixed... and where can I take it?

Its very eas to fix this one.. \015\012\015\012just use a small screw driver and open it up.. \015\012\015\012its possible that the gears were just misaligned. \015\012\015\012got mine fixed.. ...

When I power up my nikon coolpix l3, the screen is pure black. It doesn't help when I push shutter halfway. When I take a pic it's pure black. Sometimes when I power the camera up it works fine but the black screen happens more frequently than not. Batteries are fresh and warm. Playback is fine.

I have a Canon Powershot SD1000 and when I turn it on, the screen to take a picture says it's on auto, but it's black and you can't see anything through it. If I switch to video mode or picture review mode, the screen can be seen through. I think that I accidentally put it on the wrong setting, but I don't know how to fix it.

Turn the camera on and press the DISP button on the back of the camera. This button manually turns the screen on or off to save batteries. ...

Continuous shooting I'm new to this so bare with me. I just got my Nikon D60 and I want to shoot pictures in continuous mode. I set it on manual, go into the menu and change it to continuous. I rotate the dial so it changes the shutter speed but when I take pictures it's just a black screen. As a matter of fact any time I try to take a picture in M it's just black. I'm hoping that there is just a setting I need to change and there's not something wrong with my camera. Thanks.

Hey man. Im not sure how new you are but basically i think your problem is you need to decrease the shutter speed to around 1/200-1/250 of a second and increase the apeture to around f10/12 and see if that works. If your operating at a high shutter s ...

I have nikon coolpix s210. when i turn on the camera, the view finder screen is black, i cannot take pictures as they come out black. though the flash and other functions work well. i can also see photos and video in Play mode. However, i cannot take pictures.

This problem (the screen with no picture) can be caused by a number of problems). One is that a connection with in the camera has disconnected. Another is the possibility of the LCD being bad or broken (some of these LCDs are hard to detect broken sc ...

Black Screen Whenever I try to use the live camera mode on my HP Photosmart 935 camera, it's a black screen, with I that when I take a picture, or record a video. Can someone tell what is wrong, and how to fix it?

I have an SP500-UZ. In the mode where you can take five shots in a row, it takes three and the shutter drags on the fourth and then it takes an unusually long time to be able to take another photo. Normally, the screen goes black after the last photo, but it doesn't now.

The speed with which your camera can process multiple pictures in sequence is affected by the quality (SHQ,SQ,HQ) setting you select. Try reducing the setting to the next lower one and you should find the problem goes away. Good luck. ...

I've recently noticed a wide dark horizontal line approx 1/4 of the way down from the top of my screen display. The camera is kept in my home office, has not been dropped, gotten wet or exposed to extreme temps or humidity. The still photos come out fine but the videos I take have the line going through them. I played with it this evening and notice that the line moves down to about 1/4 of the way up from the bottom of the screen when I press the shutter in picture mode and stays there while

My camera was working fine for about a year. Then one day i turned it on and the screen was black but it shows the grid and date and time also it shows the menu and the differnet scene selections. If i take a pic the flash works and the sound works, but no image just black and the time and date. i think its the shutter that is stuck?? How to fix this?? Not under warranty anymore.

Take the camera andturn off the flash. Point it toward you and take a picture. Look in the lens to see if you see the shutter activate. If you dont see this work, then your shutter may very well be stuck. \015\012\015\012There isn't reall ...
